Dr. Adrian Bird, Ph.D., renowned MeCP2 researcher and former chairman of the Rett Syndrome Research Foundation (RSRF) scientific advisory board, is now serving as a trustee for the Rett Syndrome Research Trust (RSRT) organization, according to this biographical page on the Wellcome Trust website.
In 2007 Dr. Bird and RSRT co-founder Monica Coenraads announced on behalf of RSRF the landmark results of a study where symptoms of Rett syndrome were reversed in a genetic mouse model. After the 2007 merger of RSRF with the International Rett Syndrome Association (IRSA) Coenraads left the newly created International Rett Syndrome Foundation to form the Rett Syndrome Research Trust organization.
RSRT has a new website under development at www.RSRT.org, along with a separate site exclusively for Rett syndrome researchers at www.RTTScienceWatch.org.
